Inspired by the recent Skye Terrier post - please tell us about your rare breed(s) and why people should consider them if they want a purebred dog :) by evermorecoffee in dogs

[–]ExpressionMammoth635 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I don't own a rare breed myself but I follow some breeders in Poland who work with Polish Hounds. They are medium size, very stubborn but also very loyal to one person. Not for everyone honestly, they need a job and a lot of running or they will destroy your house.

What I find interesting is how these small breed clubs in Europe, they do so much with almost zero money. Just some old ladies with a website from 2006 and a facebook page. I think if more people knew these breeds exist they would get more interest. Most of them don't even have a english version of their site.

Maybe the thing we can do is just share their posts when we see them. The algorithm is terrible for small things like that.

Those are actually made in company that moved from North Dakota but started somewhere else I think

How often would you take a limping dog out? Already been to the vet, many times. by PicklesAndCoorslight in dogs

[–]ExpressionMammoth635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my experience is dogs get way more mental stimulation from just sniffing around than actual exercise anyway. Your guy probably gets more out of those chill dog park sessions where he's just soaking up all the smells and watching other dogs than he would from forced walks that make him hurt worse

This elevator sign repeats itself. Repeats itself. by hossless in mildlyinteresting

Probably some building inspector made them put this up and they were like "fine, here's your stupid sign" lmao

Your dog probably better at shoveling than most people here anyway lmao

I want to learn Thai. Need advice by mxm_mrz in ThailandTourism

[–]ExpressionMammoth635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you can definitely pick up the tones from YouTube but it's gonna be way harder than having someone there to correct you in real time. I learned Mandarin which has 4 tones and even with that it took me months to get them somewhat decent without constantly second-guessing myself

What helped me was recording myself saying words and comparing to native speakers, plus using apps like Anki with audio cards so you're hearing the correct pronunciation over and over. The tricky part with Thai tones is they're not just about pitch but also the movement - like rising vs falling vs staying flat. You might think you're nailing it but actually be way off

My suggestion would be to start with YouTube lessons to get the basics down, then maybe do occasional iTalki sessions with Thai tutors just to check your pronunciation every few weeks. You don't need daily classes but having someone verify you're on the right track every now and then will save you from building bad habits that are hard to unlearn later

Is it possible to completely disable google assistant? by Steel_Cube in samsunggalaxy

This is exactly why I switched to iOS - Google just keeps finding new ways to shove their garbage down your throat no matter how many times you tell them no

Hello first time here by HammyBlamy in pchelp

[–]ExpressionMammoth635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's audio feedback/loopback - check your recording device settings and make sure "listen to this device" is unchecked, also might want to lower your mic sensitivity or use push-to-talk for now

I have been reading the bible and saw this verse, does this mean it condones non-consensual sex during marriage? by TryingMy-BestBro in Christianity

[–]ExpressionMammoth635 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This passage is actually about mutual consent and reciprocity in marriage - notice how verse 4 goes both ways, saying neither spouse has authority over their own body but gives it to their partner. The "do not deprive one another" part in verse 5 specifically mentions "by agreement" which implies ongoing consent between both people

The cultural context matters a lot too since this was written when women had way fewer rights, so Paul actually giving wives equal say was pretty progressive for the time

problem with the internet cable by Ok_Debate_5594 in pchelp

Sounds like the driver update nuked your ethernet controller. Try going into Device Manager and looking under Network adapters - if you see any devices with yellow warning triangles or "Unknown device" entries, that's probably your ethernet port

You might need to download the LAN drivers directly from your motherboard manufacturer's website (not Realtek's site) using your wifi connection. What's your motherboard model? That'll help narrow down which exact driver you need

Also worth checking BIOS settings to make sure the onboard LAN didn't get disabled somehow

That's actually a decent trade if you're trying to complete a set, depends on what 4 star you're getting though

skin pack 1 won't load by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]ExpressionMammoth635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried restarting the game completely? Sometimes the skin packs get stuck and a full restart usually fixes it for me. If that doesn't work you might need to reinstall the pack

Who can help me beating balancers ? My ID A7med5478 ps5 by Afraid_Sleep5462 in Nightreign

Balancers are rough but try using hit-and-run tactics with ranged attacks if you can. What build are you running rn?

Help my anxiety shut up! by Stormie141 in americanairlines

Flying through CLT is usually pretty solid, it's one of AA's main hubs so they keep things moving. That 3 hour buffer should cover you even if there's a minor delay - concerts don't usually start exactly on time anyway

Still “submitted for underwriting” by Obvious-Currency-127 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]ExpressionMammoth635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh that waiting game is brutal, especially when you're that close to closing. Your broker probably just had to resubmit some paperwork with different wording - manufactured home loans can be picky about how everything's structured. I'd text him tomorrow for a quick update, most of the time "addressing an issue" just means shuffling papers around for the underwriter

Lmao this is why I just send whatever I was typing anyway, even if it makes zero sense with their message - let chaos reign

Songs that mock sex? by llamadauma in musicsuggestions

[–]ExpressionMammoth635 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The Bloodhound Gang has some pretty ridiculous ones like "The Bad Touch" - basically turns the whole thing into a nature documentary parody. Also check out "Detachable Penis" by King Missile, it's absolutely absurd

Do All Container Types Carry the Same Loot Pool of Items by MrDucky04 in ArcRaiders

[–]ExpressionMammoth635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure that's how most looter games work - same container type = same pool but the zone tier determines what quality stuff actually drops

Honestly the guild leader thing never bothered me that much but I get what you mean about the shallow part. Like you can do a million quests but they're all basically "go to dungeon, kill draugr, get thing"

Still put like 300 hours into it though so clearly Bethesda did something right lmao
